Part two of our rankings brings into the top 30 of Montreal’s prospect base. This group is highlighted by a pair of long-term projects as well as one player who has spent some time with the Canadiens in recent years.
September is upon us which means that training camp and the start of the season are on the horizon. At HabsWorld, it also means it’s time for our annual prospect rankings. We begin with the bottom five prospects, 31 through 35.
Over the past few years, the Habs have had quite a few youngsters step into the lineup. This season, there aren’t many spots open but several prospects will get a chance at some point to make their mark.
The St. John’s IceCaps, Montreal’s new AHL affiliate, have a multitude of rookies joining the team this coming season. Among those is 21 year old Tim Bozon. What type of expectations should the team place on him in 2015-16?
It turns out Alexander Semin wasn’t the only signing the Habs had in store on Friday as it was announced that the team has signed Daniel Audette to a three year, entry level contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Mac Bennett was supposed to be one of the more interesting rookies to follow last year for the Hamilton Bulldogs but his rookie season was underwhelming to say the least. As a result, he finds himself on the hot seat heading into 2015-16.
The Habs saw something they liked in defenceman Ryan Johnston at their recent development camp as on Monday afternoon, they signed him to a two year, entry-level contract.
Montreal’s recent development camp has their prospects on the minds of many fans. With that in mind, the prospects are the focus of our mailbag, including Zach Fucale, Jarred Tinordi, Nikita Scherbak, and more.
On Thursday, the Habs inked 2015 first round pick Noah Juulsen to a three year, entry level contract. As per club policy, financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Montreal’s development camp is now underway and there is no shortage of players at the camp. The Habs have 19 undrafted invitees attending, some of which are worth a closer look here.
